Not a fan of the cosmetic stuff.
Only like 2 things: 1) Brakes 2) Pedals 3) Exhaust (maybe) Shame they don't have lightweight forged wheels as an M Performance part.

Tacky! The M brand continues to be diluted...

Are the side skirts on the 3 different? There wasn't any mention of them, but they do appear different unless they are stock ones covered with a black decal.

Those wheels are hideous. They don't even fill the arches well without the need of some fat spacers. That's how the e90 320d looked like when it was first launched (wheels tucked in). And so are the stripes. How about some colour M stripes in the corner of the front hood ?
The exhaust is generally a must, along with the Power Kits (if they will become available). Am I anachronic by thinking that the old BMW Performance e90 looks a lot better ?
